Just so you know the difference:
Vendor supported
Community supported

ALL of those are vendor supported. We could jack the code in Android for some Community supported MfE, but otherwise ALL of that is Nokia specific and has -nothing- to do with MeeGo proper.

If Nokia wants to make them open enough that the Community can support (or install) them then sure, but those are not parts of MeeGo. We'll know more once actual, vendor supported MeeGo devices arrive.

You may not like to hear it, but that's how it is.

So, what would be the point of upgrading the N900 to MeeGo if it is going to do less of what the current Fremantle is doing? You upgrade to MeeGo, and no more (for example) Ovi Maps is not a good experience.

And what is Fremantle going to do in the future? Will more services come to it? Will current services be improved? Will Flash 10.1 come to it?

It is not about upgrading for the sake of upgrading. It is about what features are going to be available for the owners of the devices; and how they are going to get them. Through MeeGo? Through Fremantle? There are some things that we already know won't come in Fremantle (i.e. portrait mode). People don't know what is coming in PR 1.3, PR 1.4, etc. And they don't know that MeeGo will support (UI, browser and media player is not going to cut it).

More concrete information is needed. That is my point.
